"Horse-mad readers will devour Blind Beauty."
Books for Keeps

An epic horse story from the author of Flambards.

Every once in a while a great racehorse is born that will become famous throughout the land. Buffoon is such a horse. As a foal, he is raw-boned, awkward and ugly. He doesn't look like he's destined for glory, but appearances can be deceptive... Tessa is no angel. She's wilful, rude and uncooperative. But then she has good reason to be. She and Buffoon share a special bond. A bond that endures through all the ups and downs of this thrilling horse story.

"Four-year-old Tessa is heartbroken when her parents divorce and she must leave Shiner, the blind horse that her father bred. She's had a difficult life and has no interest in anything until she encounters the ugly but great racehorse Buffoon, who happens to be Shiner's colt. Narrator Nicki Paull captures the difficult and angry Tessa and everyone she meets on the road to becoming a relative rarity – a female jockey. The story's horse lore remains interesting for most listeners, thanks to Paull's thoughtful delivery. Horse lovers old and young will enjoy it."
